Everyone feels a hint of nostalgia when they think about their childhood.

Whether you instantly think of the places you used to go, the people you used to know, the things you used to do, or the things you used to say, the word "childhood" alone is enough to bring back vivid memories of the "good old days."

Those were simpler times, and we tend to miss those more than any as adult life continues to slam us with new twists and turns.

However, the same cannot always be said about the foods we adored as kids.

They say your taste buds change with age, and that's a great thing for some of us because kids are notoriously weird about food. Some are picky eaters whose diets consist solely of chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Others will eat everything from brussels sprouts to dirt. There's just no telling where you will land when you decide to welcome a bundle of joy into the world.

Regardless of where your eating habits fell on the spectrum of weird when you were a child, you probably enjoyed these 17 foods, but they likely make you gag now that you're an adult.

Guard your stomachs for this trip down memory lane, because some of these are pretty offensive.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
